ALWAYS MAINTAIN A JOYFUL MIND (BK & CD)

For centuries Tibetan Buddhists have employed a collection of pithy, penetrating slogans - lojong in Tibetan - to help them develop equanimity, intelligence, and compassion amid the turbulence of daily life. This book presents 59 of these powerful maxims, each one followed by best-selling Buddhist teacher Pema Chodrons fresh, succinct, and inspiring commentary on how to understand and apply the maxim in everyday living. A 45-minute audio program is also included, offering in-depth instruction on a meditation practice to awaken compassion for oneself and others. 144 pp.
